Just been reading an article about Henrik and thinking about the team that got to the UEFA Cup final.

Th players we had at the time were still in their prime and, for Scotland, they cost a fair bit at the time. We also had Martin O'Neill and he was a bit of a coup for us then as well.

Since then we've been more of a business than a team. Okay, we've been pretty successful but the standard of player has dropped a lot since then. There weren't as many home grown players then as we have now.

We're spending just enough to get us over the line, have been doing that for the last few seasons, but will we ever see a team and level that we got in 2002-03 ever again?

Agree0 Disagree0

Stengo all tell why that is mate then wee had to keep up with that manky cheating lot from across the way when really it was them that was trying to keep up with the biggest club in Scotland . And the players you could get then for the money wee spent were a better calibabre of player the money down south has made it harder to get quality these days .

I remember at the time MON saying that Leicester received 7m from TV at the time he came to Celtic, that's now circa £100 million.
We had the 2nd highest wage bill behind Man Utd on a turn over of between 50 - 70 million, fast forward to today and our turnover hasn't increased that much but in the pub league even little clubs are turning over £130 million. TV destroyed Scottish Football and we'll never see the likes of the MON days unless there's a complete rebuild of European football.

Or unless we see a quality street gang type thing with 18 year olds to 20 year olds . old style man United. chances of that 10000/ 1.at 17years old nowadays they have 1m insta fans and the promise of the Bayern school of excellence if they hit a corner.
